We have all felt far from God and these feelings can be addressed through prayer and understanding of what we do that makes us feel far from God.

Through a mental health-informed conversat…

Men’s mental health month is June, and I wanted to take the time to discuss the importance of cultivating spaces where men feel safe to be vulnerable.

In a world of self-everything, could it be that true, sustainable self-care comes from getting over ourselves and living for Jesus? In this episode we discuss what it means when the Word of God calls us to die to ourselves daily, and how this brings freedom to every area of our lives. Our mental health cannot be built on pride or self-sufficiency, …
